Then, a recommendation to Chairs of ACs and SOs: ICANN Board and CEO could be requested to set up a specifications sheet for a desirable conferencing tool, based on needs expressed by the multi-stakeholder community, and publish that as a tender. Offers received could then be reviewed not only by Staff, but in consultation with ACs and SOs.
This would get us closer to what we, collectively, consider as the appropriate tool for the numerous conference calls held throughout ICANN.

Agreed...

I'm an open (systems) person and I have seen so many ICANN/ISOC decisions supporting "closed" and prorietary systems. I always shudder at the Zoom/Adobe options in this regard...
At ISOC-ZA and ISPA we use https://jitsi.org/<https://jitsi.org/>
 - works brilliantly...

Unfortunately open systems companies don't respond to tenders...
I suggest such a tender is written to support the use of open systems rather than the "provision of a closed software solution"
